Hot Coral Lips and Silver Fingertips for Chanel Summer 2010

January 29th, 2010 by Karen 44 Comments

All morning long I’ve been JWoWW-ing over the makeup that Karl and Co. sent down the runway for Chanel’s Spring/Summer Haute Couture show in Paris earlier this week. Turns out the look was a sneak peak at a couple of soon-to-be launched pieces from their summer makeup collection.

Karl gave Peter Philips, the Global Creative Director of Chanel Makeup, three key images to inspire the makeup for the show: neon baroque, chemical pastels and liquid silver. Oh, Karl! You so crazy. 🙂

Peter managed to make it work, though, spotlighting lips with pops of neon matte coral. That’s Rouge Allure Lipstick in Genial, arriving on Chanel counters this May. I’m a *fiend* for coral lippies, so I’m definitely stalking this.


Are you drooling over this nail polish like I am? That’s Le Vernis Nail Colour in Silver. Sorry, US babes, the color isn’t available (yet) here, but I’m trying to find out if/when it might hit our shores. Will keep you posted…

The models also wore a new eyeshadow duo called Ombres Contraste Duo in Gris-Subtil. Officially, the 2010 launch date’s unknown, but off the record I’ve heard rumors that it might be hitting shelves in April, so keep your eyes peeled for that as well.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. Yikes! my tummy’s rumbling… What’s for lunch? I’m eating a turkey sandwich and a cup of minestrone soup.

    I adore (absolutely ADORE!) this lippie. I must have it too. It kinda reminds me of the spring pret-a-porter one from lancome, chris n tell, which I’ve been lovin’ too. but I didn’t want to go thru all the hassle of trying to track down a super limited edtion l/s, so getting the chanel is a MUCH better option for me. Plus I just love the color shown here. I’m also going to check out Bobbi Brown-i heard she is doing new coral lipsticks for spring too.

      The entire BB Coral Cabanas launch looks hawt. I haven’t had the chance to see it yet, but hopefully I’ll get to this weekend when I go to the mall.

      How have you been? Got any exciting plans for the weekend?

    Ah, Karl, I pray that your imagination will keep up coming up with fabulous ideas, and Peter Phillips, I will construct an altar in your honor. I need that coral lippie!!!
    How are you Karen? Long time no see! I was at the beach, but now I’m back I’m stalking you and Tabs again 🙂

        No problem! I bought mine at Target. The shade isn’t on their website, but if you google it, you can see photos of it. It’s a little less delicate-looking than the Chanel shade, but still pretty great :). Just be sure to use a base coat so it’s easier to remove.

    I think the lips would be beautiful for spring. I also really like the eyeshadow duo. The nails are gorgeous, but just not my style. 🙂

    I’m a little hesitant about the lips for myself, but love how they look on the models! I’m already loving silver nails, I have silver tips on mine right now!

    Lunch was a turkey sandwich and a mini bag of hot cheetos (addicting little things).

    Have you found your new shoes yet?

    That lipstick WILL be mine. It’s just…right! The whole look just…fits!
    It looks more like just rose mixed with creme pink to me…But I love the name too (my favorite Rouge Allure is called Genius, this is Genial, i’m just saying…)

    Ah, lunch, that was half a day ago..let me see, a black risotto with calamari and some parmesan cheese.

    I have to have that lipstick. Like, NOW. I’m obsessed with corals. I’ve got Lancome’s Chris and Tell coming in the mail (it gets here Wednesday!!!) and I’m sitting here mentally cataloguing all my coral lipglosses and lipsticks….I really like Clinique’s Peach Pop too- it’s more of a true coral than the Chanel, but the same satiny finish.

    I love the lip color but I don’t like silver on my nails. What’s up with those huge bows? I really like bows, I own a few….but these are ridiculous. It would have been nice if they’ve made something that I could wear, well at list inspiring 🙂

    I will be on the look out for Rouge Allure in Genial for sure because I am loving matte/creme bright lipsticks. I hope the Silver nailpolish will be released in Canada too because I picked the Chanel Kaleidoscope two years ago and loved it. The chrome finish is hot!

      Does any one knows when/where will the Chanel “Genial” lipstick is going to be sold in Canada? Because I have been searching on the Chanel canadian website and the summer collection is not even featured (god knows why because we are already in may…). Any way, I’d appreciate any info, I am dying to buy this lipstick. 🙂

    On the other hand, I don’t like hair and clothes in this show, it looks somehow funny and unreal… 🙂

    those nails are totally not from a bottle! they are minx, the stuff Beyonce uses on her nails. After every single silver, gold, and bronze (Opi, Lippmann, Essie, Covergirl, Zoya, EVERYTHING!) Nothing looks like that. It’s the heat-applied nailpolish stuff,

    That lippie reminds me of a toned-down version of MAC Impassioned. Also, I wonder if those pale blue/silver streaks are the look that Kate Moss was trying to emulate the other day at that Longchamp event?

    right Mollie.. like an impassioned but more corally — also looks like YSL’s #29 coral lippie.

    I love both! I’ve been craving coral because it reminds me of a summer trip to Miami! And silver nails-LOVE IT! It’s snowing here in Philly! Snow is so exciting—unless you have to drive! Tomorrow my husband and I hope to go sledding with the recycle bin lids!

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
